System: McRae

[3025] With its head office located in the city of New Dallas, McRae Quik Construct, with its location near the Periphery, is ideally situated to meet the enormous demand for housing from worlds teeming with new frontiersman. Created just a year after Hanse Davion's famous "Bold New Frontier" speech, the company's line of lightweight yet durable prefabricated housing has been extremely popular. The company is planning to follow up their success by expanding into the city planning and heavy construction fields. That way, when their many temporary buildings begin to wear out, McRae Quik Construct will be there, ready to build more permanent structures.

Rumors abound that McRae have always indulged in less than ethical business practices, though nothing has ever been proved.

[3057] These practices finally came to light in 3057; operating through a front company called Phoenix Recovery Inc., McRae hired mercenaries to raid FedCom worlds near the Periphery, with the intent of doing as much structural damage as possible. McRae then offered to rebuild the damage infrastructure, charging outrageous prices by padding its invoices. When the scandal broke, McRae’s share prices bombed allowing the company to be acquired by the Green Star Corporation, at only a fraction of its worth.

There are no functional factories located on this planet.
